• Increase overall educational attainment

• Increase overall educational attainment for populations and areas with relatively low levels of education

• Prepare people for work in high-demand fields

• Offer more certificate and alternative credential programs

• Ensure that those who hold degrees have the skills expected of people with degrees

• Align educational requirements with actual job duties

• Align K-12, higher education, and the workforce system

• Expand apprenticeships and increase the number of apprentices

1. Identify sectors of the economy Missouri needs to invest in to ensure long-term economic competitiveness. These are called “opportunity clusters.”

2. Identify the jobs needed to support each of those clusters.

3. Determine which of those jobs is the best long-term bet based on likelihood of automation and wages.

4. Support development or expansion of programs that prepare Missourians for those jobs.

Opportunity Clusters

The first step is identifying the sectors of

the economy Missouri needs to invest in to

ensure long-term economic competitiveness.

These are called “opportunity clusters.”

The consultants we worked with identified

target clusters through a combination of

quantitative and qualitative analyses, which

are described on the next slide.

Opportunity Clusters are groups of industries that may drive future economic—and job—growth in Missouri.

Opportunity clusters are groups of interrelated industries that represent areas of growth and competitive advantage for Missouri.

To focus its economic, education and workforce development strategies, Missouri sought to identify groups of industries that are growing and share talent and other inputs.

Federal statistical agencies use the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) system to group businesses into industries based on similarities in how they produce goods or

services. Although NAICS codes enable important cross-sectional economic analysis, the classification system does not provide insight into the interconnectedness of firms across industries.

Grouping NAICS codes into clusters captures the linkages between industries that share supply chains or inputs such as workers, information, or goods.

Using the methodology in the next slide, Missouri industries meeting these criteria were grouped into the Opportunity Clusters below.

In addition to the seven opportunity clusters, three cross-cluster priorities were identified because they support all or nearly all of the other clusters. Those cross-cluster priorities include

healthcare, education, and manufacturing.

Entertainment and

Media

Aerospace and

Defense

Automotive and

Transportation

Agribusiness

Services

Opportunity Clusters include three types of industries.

Opportunity Clusters at a Glance

Total Jobs, 2016 2,144,762

Projected Job Growth Rate, 2016 - 2026 7.1%

Median Annual Wage, 2017 $43,900

The Opportunity Clusters are composed of a mix of three different types of industries.*

*A full list of the industries in each Opportunity Cluster is included in the appendix.

Tradable industries produce goods and services exportable

to other states or countries. Tradable industries are the

foundation of the opportunity clusters, as they bring money

into the state, drive growth, and generate demand that spills

over to other industries.

Tradable

Cross-cluster industries produce goods and services that may

be exported to external markets or consumed in-state. Many

cross-cluster industries are included in more than one

opportunity cluster because they provide supportive services

that are relevant to a broad range of clusters (e.g. legal

services).

Cross-Cluster

Local industries sell to or service local markets. The local

industries chosen for inclusion were selected based on their

relevance to the opportunity cluster.

Note: Because cluster mapping is not mutually exclusive (sectors appear in more than one cluster), summing multiple clusters will provide values larger than state totals.

Many Opportunity Clusters offer higher wages and job growth rates than the state average.

* The projected growth rates do not take into account future investments Missouri may make into the opportunity clusters. Investment could spur increased growth in cluster employment.

The Central region has a higher concentration of employment in many of the opportunity clusters relative to the rest of the state. The region

should consider focusing on those clusters in which concentration of employment is the strongest.
